Download or read book Tribology of Graphene written by Oleksiy V. Penkov and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tribology of Graphene: Simulation Methods, Preparation Methods, and Their Applications provides an exhaustive reference guide on the tribology of graphene-based materials. The book begins with a discussion on the selection of the proper graphene-based material and then segues into how to choose a deposition method, how to control of its structure and properties, and the most effective working conditions and applications. The latest developments in theoretical simulations of graphene friction, preparation methods, and effective applications are all reviewed, as are the ways various graphene coatings can be successfully employed to decrease friction and wear in nano-, micro- and macro-mechanical applications. - Synthesizes the broad current research in tribological applications of graphene all in one place - Covers theoretical simulations and preparation methods, including insights on how to put them into practice, allowing for quicker and more effective selection of graphene-based material - Provides a broader perspective by discussing both graphene-based composites and additives
